SINGULAR MONoMANIA.
A Self-Appointed Inspector Subjects ParI
Jehus to His Authority.

A Self-Appointed Inspector Subjects Paris
Jehus to His Authority.
Monomania takes many forms and as
sumes many shapes, but much doubt
whether such n case as that which am
about to relate has ever been placed OH
record before. For the past six months
the different cab-stands have been
visited at regular intervals by an in
dividual who gave himself out as an in
spector in the company's employ. He
examined the vehicle and the horses
with the most scrupulous attention,
tried the springs, saw that the wheels
were sound, opened the doors to ascer-
tain whether all was right within, and
even went SO far MS to assure himself
that the horses were properly shod.
The "jehus," usually so independent
to use a mild xpression-stood, hat in
hand, in his presence like so many
lambs. They answered all his ques-
tions as to the number of journeys
they had made with the utmost
politeness and Difference and were
lost in admiration at the zeal and
energy exhibited by this model func-
tionary. He was up with the lark,
tramped on foot from one end of the
metropolis to the other, and only re-
turned home in time for supper. This
paragon of inspectors would still be
fulfilling his duties but for lively dis
pute which brought the police on the
scene. One morning he threatened to
put whole gang of fifty cabrnen out
of work on the ground that they had
over-driven their horses. In all prob
ability he was not far wrong in his
criticism. but the dreadful menace rem
dcred the Automedons desperate.
Abandoning, for once, their respectful
manner, they engaged in II wordy war
with the Inspector. AS matters were
rapidly assuming u serious aspect the
police interfered. A report was prompt-
ly drawn mp and the man proceeded
with the sergeants-de-ville to the COM
pany's offices to give his version of the
affair. His face being unknown to the
clerks he was questioned and after do
claring that he was appointed an in
spector year ago, he threatened to get
tho chief clerk dismissed This was,
unfortunately, going too far An in
quiry was made into the case and IL
was found that tho poor fellow was a
monomaniac whose craze had taken
this curious form.-Paris Letter.

SALMON CANNING.
Methods Employed In Preparing Fish

Methods Employed in Preparing Fish for
the Markets of the World.
In preparing salmon for canning the
fish are dressed of fins, heads and on
trails at the rate of 1000 to 1000 day
by each man. They go through three
washings and cleanings, and are cut by
a machine into lengths just the height
of can. These pieces are each sliced
lcngthwise into several pieces. The
men who do the filling press the pieces
as compactly into the cans as possible;
Chinese will fill 1000 cans in day.
The filed cans are then taken to the
washing machine. where they are rap
idly revolved under spray of warm
water and are rubbed with a sponge at
the same time, after which they are
wiped dry with pieces of netting.
In the criwper the edge of the cover
is crimped and the cans then roll across
a brick soldering furnace, the ends
passing through trough of melted
solder. This machine and furnace will
dispose of 10000 cans day and over.
The completeness of the operation iS
tested by examination and immersion
in hot water, and, il no further solder.
ing is necessary, the cans are immersed
again for an hour and twenty minutes
in d caldron Of boiling water. after
which they are again tested by being
tap ppcd on the tsp by small wooden
mallct, imperfection being indicated by
the sound. The good ones are pune
tured to let the hot air escape and are
imme diately sealed up again.
The cans ARE now rolled on q track
into an iron retort and cooked by steam
for an hour and fifteen minutes. They
are next plunged into vat of hot lys,
to remove every particle Of grease, and
are immersed In a tank Of cold water
until they are perfectly cool. The final

ENGLAND's SOIL.
A Country Rich In Valuable and Historical
Underground Relics.


Underground Relics.
The soil of England does not seem
to be worn out, to judge by the won-
derful verdure and the luxuriance of
vegetation. 1t contains a great museum
of geological specimens, and a series of
historical strata which is among the
most instructive of human records. l
do not pretend to much knowledge of
geology. The most interesting geolog-
ical objects in our New England that l
can think of are the great boulders and
the scratched and smooth surface OF the
rocks; the fossil footprints in the valley
of the Connecticut; the trilobites found
at Quincy. But the readers of Hugh
Miller remember what variety of fos-
sils he found in the stratiiied rocks of
his little island. and the museums arc
full of just such objects. When il
comes to underground historical relics,
the poverty of New England as COM
pared with the wealth of Old England
is very striking. Stratum after stratum
carries the explorer through the relics
of successive invaders. After pass
ing through the characteristic
layers of different races, he
comes upon Roman pavement, and
below this the weapons and ornaments
of tribe of ancient Britons. One can
not strike spade into the earth, in
Great Britain, without fair chance of
some surprise in the form of Saxon
coin, or u Celticimplement, or Roman
fibula. Nobody expects any such pleas
ing surprise in Il New England field.
One must be content with an indian
arrowhead or two. now and then IL pestle
and mortar, OF stone pipe. A top
dressing OF antiquity is all he can look
for. The soil is not humanized enough
to be interesting; whereas in England
so much of it has been trodden by hu-
man feet, built on in the form of human
habitations, nay, has been itself part
of preceding generations of human
beings, that it is in q kind of dumb
sympathy with those who tread its turf.
Perhaps it is not literally true that
81 Onehalf her soil has walked the rest
In poets, heroes, martyrs, snges; -
hut so many of nll these lie within II
that The whole mother island is q campo
sa,sto to MI who can claim the same
blood as that which runs in the veins
of her unweaned children. = Oliver Wxis-
